Classified By: Poloff Katrina Mosser for reasons 1.4(b) and (d)
P/E Chief delivered reftel points on the Manas Airfield to
MFA State Counselor Milan Spirodonovski and MFA NATO Head of
Sector Zoran Dabic. There is no Kyrgyz diplomatic presence
in Macedonia and no Macedonian embassy in Bishkek. However,
Spirodonovski said the MFA would instruct Macedonian
representatives in major Western European capitals with a
Kyrgyz diplomatic presence to express GOM support for
continued U.S. access to Manas Airfield, emphasizing its
importance as a logistics base as ISAF and OEF partners seek
to stabilize Afghanistan.
